Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Shucking the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster. Twist the knife to pry open the shell and remove the top half. Be cautious of the sharp edges.

  2. 2

    Serving

    Place the opened oysters on a platter, ensuring they stay in their shells. Optionally, sprinkle sea salt on the platter to keep the oysters stable.

  3. 3

    Garnishing

    Serve the oysters with lemon wedges on the side, along with cocktail sauce and hot sauce for dipping.
